Eyewitness recounts the Abbey ceremony with gowns and jewels on peeresses, gold coats on John Burns and gold epaulettes on Mr Balfour. Describes music, archbishop’s sermon, and the King’s reception as the crowd praises a peaceful, ordered coronation.
Northcliffe reports from Westminster Abbey that King George VI appeared pale yet dignified as the crown was placed. The Queen and royal children drew praise for poise, while Westminster scholars’ vivats electrified the ceremony and crowd.
Readers glimpse the Abbey as peers and notables fill the transepts in a scene of sober splendor. The architecture offers grave gray beauty, with lars and dark stone rising above the temporary color to the vaulted roof, in a dignified, non gaudy display.
